chapter 4- the spell is cast

It's been about a week since Chad found out about Jessica cheating on her diet and ridiculed her for it. Since then he gave up on trying to help her.

"If you want to workout or diet I'm not helping your fat ass anymore." Chad said on Monday when he came back.

During that week, Jessica went back to her diet and routine that she had before Chad. She was super embarrassed because all she did was sit around and eat nothing but junk food and takeout. Every time a delivery came, Chad rolled his eyes and give her a sparky remark like "here's your fourth meal today, all before 4." He would also make comments when he helped Jessica waddle up stairs or in the shower. He once said as Jessica was huffing and puffing up the stairs, "If you weren't such a fat pig waddling up stairs wouldn't be like a marathon." Chad didn't think Jessica heard him, but she did.

Jessica was mortified by all of this, but she didn't say anything because she didn't want him to quit before she could get her friend. While she had to put up with Chad's rude comments and constant humiliation, Jessica also spent the week getting the stuff she needed for the spell. After he left every day, Jessica got the spell more and more ready, she just needed one more thing, someone to help her cast it. Luckily she knew just the person to ask.

Around 2pm, the doorbell rings and Chad answers it expecting it to be another food delivery but is shocked. As he opens the door, a hot skinny woman is standing in front of him. She looks to take good care of her body and is even taller than him.

"Well hello there. How can I help you?" Chad says while putting on his self centered jock charm.

The woman replies, "You must be Chad. I'm Sara, Jessica's sister."

"You're Jessica's sister?" Chad says. "I can see who got all of the best jeans."

Chad gives her a cocktail smile, but Sara just rolls her eyes and walks in.

"Jessica? You here?" Sara yells in the house.

"I'm here in the living room." Jessica replies.

"She practically lives on that couch eating." Chad says thinking no one could hear him, but Sara did.

"How have you been?... You look good." Sara asks, not trying to bring up Jessica's weight.

Jessica tries to say something but Chad buts in. "She hasn't been doing anything. I tried to get her on a diet and workout, but that clearly didn't work. Maybe you can convince her."

"Did I ask you?" Sara turns to Chad annoyed.

Chad is caught off guard. "I'll go take out the garbage again and then get your pizzas for dinner. You sure you don't want a salad?"

"She's sure." Sara says while staring daggers into Chad.

Chad rolls his eyes, chuckles and heads out.

"Is he always such a jerk?" Sara asks Jessica while sitting next to her on the couch.

Jessica nods her head and replies. "You can see why I called you."

"Are you sure about this?" Sara asks. "You haven't practiced magic regularly since mom and dad passed. Why don't you just ask for a new nurse?"

"Come on Sara." Jessica replies. "I have to teach him a lesson. If I don't, he'll just torment someone else. Besides, this spell helps me lose weight too."

"It would be nice to see you at your old size again. Before all… this." Sara says while touching Jessica's enormous belly. “Ok, I’m in.”

“Great!” Jessica says while trying to heave herself off the couch. “Um… a little help.”

Sara grabs Jessica’s hands and manages to help Jessica to her feet.

“So, what do we need for the spell?” Sara asks.

“I’ve got all of the ingredients. Follow me.” Jessica says while waddling to the kitchen and Sara follows behind. “I just need your help casting it.”

They get to the kitchen and there’s a pot bubbling with books next to it. Sara deduces that this is for the spell

“How does it work?” Sara asks

“It’s a pretty fast acting spell.” Jessica responds while catching her breath from the short walk. “Over the span of a month, it transfers as much weight as I want from me to him without him even noticing. The spell will also make Chad grow lazy and addicted to all of the most fattening foods. He’ll just think he’s doing his normal routine and eating what he normally does while he piles on the pounds. I already cast another spell on him that’ll make his clothes grow to fit him as he gets fatter. Then once the spell is complete, I’ll reverse and he’ll have no clothes to wear except for mine, if I decide to be nice and let him borrow them.”

“Jessica, that is so devious.” Sara says. “I love it. Let’s cast it before he gets back.”

“Alright, I just need you to say this spell with me after I toss this in.” Jessica says while handing Sara a piece of paper with one hand and holding another piece in the other.

“What’s on that piece?” Sara asks.

“This is how much I want to lose and how much I want Chad to gain.” Jessica says gleefully. “I had to find out how much he weighs now, luckily he never shuts up about it as a way to seemingly embarrass me.” She opens the paper to show Sara. “I sadly weigh 660lbs, I checked this morning. My goal is 125.”

“Jesus Jessica, 660lbs?” Sara says in shock. “What about Chad?”

Jessica blushes a little at Sara’s response and replies. “He’s at 195 and since I’m losing 535 pounds, he’ll end up at 750lbs.”

“750lbs?” Sara asks. “Are you sure you want to do this?”

As Sara asks that, Jessica gets a text from Chad that reads. “They asked if the order was for a party. I told them no, just a fat pig who can’t put down the fork.”

Sara’s face grows red with anger. “Ok, let’s teach this jerk a lesson.”

Jessica smiles and tosses the paper into the pot and then the two of them hold hands and recite the spell.

“We call on the power. Since Chad’s ego is so big, let’s make him the pig. Abra Cadabra.”

The liquid in the pot dissolves into a cloud and then flies out of the kitchen.

“Did it work?” Sara asks.

“Only one way to find out.” Jessica responds.

Chad comes in through the front door and Jessica and Sara go to greet him. Chad sets down the food and immediately grabs a slice of pizza and shoves it in his face.

“I’m starving.” Chad says.

“I thought you hated pizza.” Jessica says with a sly smile.

“I do, this is a salad tubby. Something you should try.” Chad says while grabbing another slice.

Jessica pulls Sara aside and whispers to her. “It worked, he has no idea what he’s even eating. The spell makes him crave junk thinking it’s healthy.”

“This is gonna be fun.” Sara says giggling.

“Oh yes it is.” Jessica says while waddling over to grab pizza.

“Shouldn’t you cut down on that stuff?” Sara asks while Chad is busy stuffing his face.

“Relax” Jessica says. “The spell will also transfer my addiction to this crap to him and replace it with cravings for healthy food. Might as well enjoy this stuff while I can. Besides, any weight I would gain from this will just go to him and make his gain faster.”

The two sit down on the couch and laugh at the sight of Chad pigging out.

“Hey Chad, why don’t we order more.” Jessica asks.

“Wow, you’re really being a pig tonight aren’t you.” Chad says chuckling.

Jessica and Sara giggle and smile while Jessica just responds. “Yeah, I’m the pig.”
